This book series provides a forum for investigations of aspects of the medieval world from a textual and cultural perspective, using an interdisciplinary approach. The series examines a varied range of social and cultural issues such as language, identity, monstrosity, gender, race, religion, injustice, medical treatment, death, and grief through the whole medieval period, ca. 600–1500, including early modern and modern medievalisms and responses to the Middle Ages. Innovative and interesting cultural and intertextual studies from all geographical regions of the medieval world are welcome. The series publishes monographs, edited volumes, and critical editions and other works of reference.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to either the series editor,
